Ethical Gifts for Every Woman In Your Life

The holidays are around the corner! The lights they are a’twinklin, your pants they are a’stretchin and Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas Is You is playing on repeat. It’s officially the most wonderful time of the year. Unless of course, you still have gift shopping to do.

Buying presents for people is one of my all-time favorite activities. It’s a puzzle! It has to be something specific to them, specific to our relationship, and most importantly align with my values of treating the planet and the people on it with respect. That’s a tall order.

The Yogi

Every yogi needs fun leggings but did you know most leggings are made from what is essentially plastic? No bueno. Grab a funky pair from Yoga Democracy. Their wide waistband is incredibly flattering and their techno fabric keeps you cool during sweaty workouts. Best of all their leggings are made from 78% recycled PET and non-toxic dyes. Now there’s something to feel zen about.

The Multi-tasker

What woman doesn't fall into this category? We all have so many things to do in a day and if you’re like me you often find yourself short about 3 hours and 4 hands. I can’t give you more time, but The Tote Project can give you an extra hand when you need it. Their inspirational totes fit in your purse so you always have one in case of an emergency, but they’re beautiful enough to carry on their own. These fair trade totes are sewn by women in India who’ve freed themselves from sex trafficking. 20% of their profits are donated to two wings a non-profit focused on helping survivors of human trafficking in the United States pursue their dreams.

The Outdoorsy Gal

The more time you spend outside the more you have to pamper your skin. For the woman who loves to play in the sunshine snag the Ultimate Skin Care Essentials Set from Hand In Hand Soap. It has everything she needs to pamper her skin, a full-sized bar of soap, a full-sized sugar scrub, and a luxuriously moisturizing full-sized lotion. For every set purchased Hand In Hand donates 3 bars of soap and 3 months of clean water to a child in need.
